**3RD PERSON**

Faith ran at the moving train as it picked up speed, she noticed an open door and two freckly boys hanging out, grinning at her like headless chickens, Faith scowled. Thrusting her bag at them she put on an extra burst of speed and leapt at the open door.

"Ok, i'm alive!" she giggled, before wobbling backwards. "Ahhh, help me!"

George quickly grabbed her arm and yanked at it, Faith's nose collided with Georges on impact and sent them both flying backwards.

"Ow George, were you trying to pull my arm of?" Faith moaned as Fred slides the open door shut.

"Yes, I wondered how much force, it would take to rip of your arm" George grinned, which made Faith scowl and hit him over the head with a slipper.

"Why the hell have you got a slipper?" Fred queried as he handed her back her trunk, and lead the way to a free compartment; Faith only answered once they were inside and she was sitting down, comfortably.

"Cause I woke up about 5 minutes before the train left" Faith yawned; she stretched her legs and placed them onto George's lap.

"Comfy?" He asks, wiggling his eyes brow, Faith nods and yawns again before being thrown in the air. George had leapt up from his seat, pulling along Faith in the process.

"HOW THE HELL DID YOU MANAGE TO PULL ME OF MY SEAT" Yelled Faith, over the fits of giggles, Fred and George were leaning against each other, eyes shut, laughing their heads off.

After a couple of minutes, George and Fred opened there eyes and looked down at Faith, She was lying on the floor, with her eyes closed, asleep.

"Aw, she looks so cute" Said George, his twin brother turned to look at him.

"Mate, who would want to go out with you, I mean you're not even handsome?" Fred asked sceptically.

"I didn't say I wanted to go out with her, you mouldy chocolate frog, I said she looks cute" George snapped back.

"Sure, I mean... you don't exactly go round saying; 'Aww, they look so cute' It's wrong, defiantly if there asleep" - Snort - "And don't snort at me!"

"I didn't snort, I thought it was you!"

"What, I thought it was you" George shook his head, his brothers eyes widened.

"Well if it's not you" Fred said slowly.

"And it's not you" George continued

"Then it must be..." Fred's eyes turned to the size of footballs. The twins looked around to face a very angry Faith.

"Yeah that's right, I am still here you know!" Faith sneered.

'Ok, is she seriously angry?' George asked himself. I didn't do anything wrong, did I?

"Sorry Faith" Fred trembled, a dangerous spark lit in Faiths eyes.

"Nah" she admitted a few seconds later, her face split into a menacing grin. "Don't bother, I ain't angry with you Fred, but you George? I now have a splitting headache!"

"Well with this lot, your sure to" Someone taunted from the compartment door, everybody looks around to see Draco Malfoy standing in the doorway, Draco was a blond haired boy, he was in his third year at Hogwarts, which meant Fred, George and Faith were in there fifth. Faith got up and places her hands on her hips. "I have a parcel for you from my Mother, and Farther"

He hands her a big parcel, she takes it and nods in thanks, Draco shuts the soor and walks of.

"Whats that" Fred asks, George shoots him a death glare.

"Shut up" George said, hitting his brother around the head, Faith chuckled and sat back down on the floor.

"Its a parcel" Faith replied in a no-duh tone, Fred rolled his eyes.

"I didn't notice!" He replied in exactly the same tone.

SMACK

"Hey, how DARE you hit my brother!" George shouted in a fake-angry voice, George got up and sat down on Faiths back.

"Hey, lump, get the hell of me" Faith whined, just as the compartment door opened a second time, and Lee Jordan, Fred, George and Faiths other best friends came in.

"OK... Random" He exclaimed. "What the hell happened?"

"Don't ask" Faith mumbled.

Faith spent most of the train ride, laying on the floor with George sitting on top of her, as the sky darkened George finally gave in to Faiths pleading.

"Help... Me... I'm... Dying... Please... Get... Off..." Faith breathed heavily, George rolled his eyes and laughed hysterically.

"FINE! I'll get of" He chuckled, George got up slowly, Faith breathed in relief.

"Help me up"

George grabbed Faiths arm and pulled her up slowly, unfortunately, at that very moment, the train decided to stop suddenly. George fell to the ground, and somehow, Faith ended up on top of him, instead of underneath him.

"Why are we slowing down?" George asked from underneath Faith, Lee pressed his face against the window and gasped.

"There's someone outside, I think there coming in!"

At those very words the lights flickered and went of, Faith got off of George and sat down, opposite Lee.

"I can see something, a shadowed figure" she whispered in fear, the others shivered as a cold wind whipped through the compartment.

BANG

The whole train shook with the force of a bomb, Faith fell of the comfy compartment chairs and fell to the floor. Everybody sat still, staring at the compartment door. A short figure stood outside the door, Faith whipped out her wand in an instant and pointed it towards the door, luckily she didn't have to use it as the shadowy figure, was Draco Malfoy. 

"Theres something out there" he whimpered, lowering himself into the closest free space.

Both Fred and George glowered at the cowering blond, while Lee snorted in diastase.

"No Shit, Sherlock" Lee sighed, tapping his fingertips together, Faith wondered how he could be so calm at a terrifying time like this, but then again... he was Lee Jordan, for petty sakes.

A Few minutes went by, minutes that mostly invovled Draco rocking back and forth, in his seat and Lee tapping his fingertips together. Fred and George just seemed frozen in place, unable to move.

It wasnt until a faint light shone from about the window, did anybody move. Faith slowly raised herself from the floor and pressed her face against the window. A small smile spread across her face as she realized what the light was.

"What the hell is that?" Fred muttered, staring intently at the glimmer.

"Yeh, what is that?" George repeated

"Isn't it obvious?" Faith asked, eyebrows raised in surprise, all four boys shook their heads in unision. "That, is a Patronus"
